Am I allowed to release a mod with edited stone textures?

Hello, I have made a mod which has edited cobble/stone textures in it (it is a mod for coloured stone and cobble). Am I allowed to release this due to the edited textures. I have looked here https://github.com/minetest/minetest_ga ... ME.txt#L31 to see if they are WTFPL but I am still not sure. Thanks for any answers.
Sorry if this is the wrong section. I didn't know where else to put it.

The license is WTFPL, so you can do what you like with them.

You can yes, but you must release the edited version as CC BY-SA and give credit.

So would i have to say "License: WTFPL, for stone (originating from Cisoun's WTFPL texture pack); and CC BY-SA 3.0, for cobble (cobble texture originates from G4JC's Almost MC Texture Pack) (based off original images)"?

You have to say:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
Code: Select all
CC BY-SA 3.0, for cobble (cobble texture originates from G4JC's Almost MC Texture Pack) (based off original images)


But you do not have to say:

Ok, thank you a lot. Thats put my worries to rest :P
Once again thank you for your help. Here is the final one "License: CC BY-SA 3.0, for cobble (cobble texture originates from G4JC's Almost MC Texture Pack) (based off original images) and WTFPL for stone texture." is that ok?

Is the credit also necessary if it's completely obvious that the texture is a modified one from the default mod?
